Mr. Note because it is.. life as a life is pointless, i completely agree on that part, but you can still find your purpose making it not fully pointless and making your life happy, which is basically ultimate goal.
It's apstract way of thinking.
On the scale of universe everything is pointless.
On the scale of emotions, life has a purpose.
Think of it this way. Think of the thing that gives you the most pleasure. For me it's comedy and football.
So what is the point of playing football? The point is to feel satisfication, to feel that pleasure and when you hit that state it makes you life pointful. You just ended "circle of purpose". maybe completing those cricles is pointless, but at least you will die as a happy man.
That's the thing with emotions, they are so strong that they make point themself.
I always say "think big, live small" refering to that. Think about universe, religion, psychology, history, AI, whatever you find the most intriguing, but live so that small things make you happy.
The situation we are in is not ideal, but why don't we get most out of the life we live in?
You never know, science might actually catch up with us so that we become immortal.

what is the point/goal in football?
Only goal in football is to win thropy which is set by human. Does lack of natural purpose of football makes football any less entertaining to you? No, you still love every bit of it.
The same works for life in general, you set the goals and live happily ever after. You shouldn't be concerned about pointless of life on individual basis.
...
About contribution to humanity:
The first of all we don't know what could and what will happen. Maybe we become immortal, there are literally no limits in life, everything is possible, we don't even know what's possible. Only way to find out is by keep improving science.
if you are not a genius yourself who can directly influence our improvment, at least be inspiration. They are countless of ways to do that (from being a great teacher, to being a good person in general)
For me, being inspiration for others is one of the most important things in my life and definitely the best way for me to contribute to humanity in general.
Don't ever understimate power of inspiration, everybody has to be inspired by someone even the greatest scientists of all time,.. read long time ago that Tesla got some idea on the river by observing some random guy.. That random guy is not even aware of his influence he had on human histoyr.
Isn't it inspiring that YOU, a single person who is part of something so huge (part of species that tries to survive in infinte universe) can actually easily change the course of human history?
Especially now, in era of internet, now easier then ever
Live happy life on individual scale, inspire people on the scale of humanity. You are part of something huge and very rare in universe. What more can you ask for?
